Channel will patch save files which were hit by the glitch

Earlier this month we passed along tips to avoiding the game-breaking bug in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. However, all is not lost if your save file was borked, as Nintendo is setting up a Wii Channel specifically to patch/repair faulty saves.

According to an announcement from Nintendo Japan, the "Zelda Data Restoration Channel" will be available through the Wii Shopping Channel from the Wii Channel section. Here's how that process looks on a Japanese console, via Andriasang:

Nintendo of America has yet to update its support page to highlight the restoration channel. In the meantime, fans in America can still send in their saves directly to Nintendo for repair. Man, Nintendo is living in a special kind of technology time warp!
